Dan O’Neil + Derek Madsen lift my spirits

The VT shootings have been sitting heavy on my heart all week. I found a link through a bio of one of the victims to a website with about 20 songs he recorded. Dan’s website is http://residenthippy.com/, although it looks down from all the traffic. He did a cover of Postal Service ‘Sleeping In’ which was one of the most touching things I have ever heard. It is here (if the site isn’t down). Funny how music can help with the healing. I read the bios of all the victims, and realized that quite a few of them were my age… had the same ambitions… such a love for life… It was so wonderful reading about Dan, and hearing his voice, his message, his song, his story. So senseless why they are gone.
